Carson Mansion

The Carson Mansion built between the years 1884 and 1886 is probably one of the most famous Victorian architecture in the United States. It is situated in Old Town, Eureka, California, and was created by Samuel Newson and Joseph Cather.

The structure, which is regarded as the largest Victorian residence in the United States of America, is constructed in a variety of well-known architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Italianate, Stick, and Eastlake. It is an 18-room, four-story building with a tower and a basement, two distinctive features of the Californian architecture.

The four-story house is decorated with vibrant, hand-tooled 19th-century art, such as an elaborate central staircase with white mahogany frames, colorful stained glass panels, substantial redwood ornamentation, rich oak, and cherry paneling and moldings, carved onyx fireplaces, gilt-framed mirrors, and vintage wallpaper and carpets.

The mansion was originally built for renowned American businessman William Carson, but since 1950, the Ingomar Club has been using it as a private clubhouse.
